Sensor not available

ESPHome
1

Since yesterday, a esphome sensor is constantly showing “not available”, however sensor data is recorded. But instead of showing a solid line, I only see dots of the measurements:

I know there was the same issue some months ago and it was fixed by an update of ha core (I think). But I cannot find that thread from back then…

I’m also not sure what happened, because there was no update (neither from ha core nor esphome) at that time when the sensor started behaving this way.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

ha core: 2023.09.2
esphome: 2023.8.3

No one has an idea? I have no idea what caused this - because I changed nothing.

3

This looks like an intermittent connection problem of the ESP device.
Is it connecting via WiFi?
If so, do you know about the ESPHome diagnostic WiFi sensors WiFi Signal Sensor and WiFi Info Text Sensor? These might give some info to troubleshoot possible WiFi problems.

4

I’m not sure if that is the case… The connection seems to be okay and the RSSI is pretty constant.
The dots are also exactly 10min apart - which is the sleep time of the sensor (it runs on battery).
The only thing is, that instead of showing the last value, the sensor would show “not available” - except for a small timeframe after an update.

But for whatever reason, it started working again two hours ago 🤷

If you show your esp code it might give more of a clue. By any chance are you using mqtt. I suspect you might if you are using deep sleep . Have you adjusted the birth and will messages topic so they don’t match? It won’t then Mark the device as unavailable. It’ll make the graph look better. Search the forum there are many examples of needing to mangle the topics.

I haven’t touched the configuration in months… But yes, I use deep sleep.

Here are the crucial parts of the configuration.

esphome:
  name: $devicename

esp32:

  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid

  fast_connect: true

      then:
        - deep_sleep.prevent: deep_sleep_1
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: $devicename/ota_mode_status
            payload: "active"
    - topic: $devicename/sleep_mode
      payload: 'ON'
      then:
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: $devicename/ota_mode_status
            payload: "disabled"
        - deep_sleep.enter: deep_sleep_1

  - platform: bme280
    temperature:

    humidity:

        then:
          - mqtt.publish:
              topic: $devicename/low_voltage
              payload: "true"
switch:
  - platform: shutdown
    name: "${devicename}_shutdown"
    id: shutdown1
  - platform: restart
    name: "${devicename}_restart"

deep_sleep:
  id: deep_sleep_1
  run_duration: 10s
  sleep_duration: 10min

I noticed however, that the battery depletes now much more quickly.
Before, it would last around 1 month, before I had to charge it. Now it was empty within one week.
So maybe something is messing with the deep sleep…

  will_message:
    topic: $devicename/statusdisabled

Adjust like this. As long as both aren’t same topic. The broken lines should go away .
It takes esp about 8 seconds to connect to wifi then 10 seconds of run time. If you setup an automation to go back to sleep as soon as mqtt got a sensor reading in it would cut run time in half.
Set an ip address and it’ll shave a second or two off as well.

I see, I’ll try that! Thanks!

Was there maybe a change recently? Because the sensor worked flawlessly for now almost a year.

9

Read up the change logs to get an idea and pay special attention to the breaking changes. In case you didn’t updated for a year you need to read all release notes for that time frame to know :brain:

10

The broken lines on graph when device went to sleep is a longstanding problem. I’m not sure how it worked for you before. Had you set the mqtt to be retained?
I’ve been using the different birth/Will topic solution for 2 1/2 years. Perhaps your device ran continuously for > 1 year. My device ran fine until 2 months ago until the box filled up with water and took out the battery charger. New charger and some sealant will hopefully see it through a few more years.

11

Had you set the mqtt to be retained?

You mean here: MQTT Client Component — ESPHome ?
No, not that I’m aware of.

Perhaps your device ran continuously for > 1 year.

kind of. The battery ran flat two times and I updated the device a few times in between.

I updated esphome regulary. I also read the changelog and especially the breaking changes. As far as In can remember there was nothing where I would say this broke the device.
So I guess I was just lucky for a year and then something else changed and broke it…
So far, it works with the different birth/will messages (but it worked also a few days before I changed it, so I still have no idea what’s going on :D)

This problem is back since the update to 2024.02.00 / 2024.02.01 yesterday evening:

I checked the changelog and cannot find anything that would explain this. I updated the config due to the bme280 change and flashed an update, but it is still broken.

Relevant config:

mqtt:
  broker: !secret mqtt_broker
  username: !secret mqtt_user
  password: !secret mqtt_pasword
  discovery: False
  discovery_retain: False
  birth_message:
    topic: $devicename/status
    payload: online
  will_message:
    topic: $devicename/statusdisabled
    payload: offline
  on_message:
    - topic: $devicename/ota_mode
      payload: 'ON'
      then:
        - deep_sleep.prevent: deep_sleep_1
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: $devicename/ota_mode_status
            payload: "active"
    - topic: $devicename/sleep_mode
      payload: 'ON'
      then:
        - mqtt.publish:
            topic: $devicename/ota_mode_status
            payload: "disabled"
        - deep_sleep.enter: deep_sleep_1

sensor:
  - platform: bme280_i2c
    temperature:
      name: "${devicename}_temperature"
    pressure:
      name: "${devicename}_pressure"
    humidity:
      name: "${devicename}_humidity"
    address: 0x76

Would be nice to check ESPHome device logs, by using, f.e.

logger:
  - level: DEBUG

IMHO stopped logging too early - see no entries (except configuration) regarding BME sensor.
Collect log for longer period to have at least 2-3 successefull readings from BME.

16

hmm okay, so right now I have the following settings:

deep_sleep:
  id: deep_sleep_1
  run_duration: 10s
  sleep_duration: 15min

could it be that since 2024.2.0 10s of wake time are not enough? Is that a result of the change of the sensor?

I’ll change it to 30s and see how that goes…
I also added a update_interval: 2s to the BME, maybe that was something changed as well? Before that worked great but it seems to prevent multiple sensor updates now?

I see now several of

[11:53:31][W][component:215]: Components should block for at most 20-30ms.

but the behaviour that the sensor is not available when in deep sleep is the same.

17

Perhaps you just haven’t shown it , but it would be a quicker connect if you used a fixed ip address.

18

It is already on static IP - but could that actually be an issue? There are values transmitted via MQTT and I can see them in HA, however the device is marked as unavailable.

19

Check that dhcp hasnt handed that address out to another device or you haven’t assigned it twice.

20

it is not assigned twice. But again, how can this be a problem?
And it started to behave that way exactly after the update. I also updated HAOS and core though, but I also checked the changelogs for those and could not find anything that relates to that IMHO.
